6.0 CONCLUSION 
Applications of remote sensing have 
increased over the years with better spatial, spectral 
and radiometric resolutions. These resolutions 
are/will improve in future which will increase the 
applications of remote sensing data. It is also 
acknowledged that the increasing technology user base 
and expanding areas of space applications call for 
greater coordination among agencies/institutions that 
are involved in various fields of space technology 
application. 
The curriculum and syllabus for remote 
sensing need to be formulated and updated to fulfill 
current and future development of remote sensing in 
term of technology and its application. In this paper, 
the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in 
Remote Sensing at University Technology Malaysia 
have been described. The course structure, curriculum 
and admissions entrance have also been highlighted. 
The first batch of the B.Sc (remote sensing) candidates 
have been graduated in May 2001.
